A transportation expert cited DMCI Homes’ RideShare Carpooling Program for its condo residents as a good example for other developers to follow.
“The ridesharing service promoted and provided by DMCI Homes helps residents by alleviating the daily experience of traffic congestion. By using this service (RideShare), we can reduce the stress that comes with traveling, and it also means we don’t have to drive our own vehicles as often,” said Dr. Jose Regin Regidor, a research fellow at the University of the Philippines-National Center for Transportation Studies and a professor and director at the Institute of Civil Engineering.
“It would be great if other communities, condominiums, and buildings with residents who share common destinations, such as workplaces or their children’s schools, could engage in this kind of ridesharing,” the transportation expert added.
Ridesharing is also kinder on the environment: fewer cars on the road means less carbon emissions.
DMCI Homes has been offering ridesharing services in select residential properties as a convenient and innovative solution to heavy traffic congestion in Metro Manila.
For Regidor, it’s a simple yet meaningful solution to worsening urban traffic. It also benefits condo residents as they no longer have to worry about their daily commute or bear the task of driving through heavy traffic.
All they need to do is book a seat in advance through the DMCI Communities Mobile App and show up at designated pick-up points every day.
DMCI Homes’ RideShare Carpool Program recently won a Gold Award for Innovation in Transportation and Logistics from the 2024 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards, an international award-giving body that recognizes business innovations across the region.
Among the DMCI Homes communities serviced by RideShare include Acacia Estates in Taguig, and Prisma Residences, Lumiere Residences, Sheridan Towers, and Brixton Place in Pasig.
